Spark plug issue on 07 with 5.4 and not a broken one
Changed my plugs this afternoon and had no issues, not even a broken plug, until I got to the last one. First bolt on coil pack was stripped so I spent the better part of an hour using the dremel to grind it off. When I got it off and slid the socket down I was not able to get it over the plug. Got the camera out and see this.... Doesn't look like jb weld and every sleeve I've seen is just a small ring. Worried I may have to forgo changing this plug and the other ones were so burnt up they didn't even have any electrode left. Any ideas?
Take a piece of 3/4 copper water pipe and cut a notch in it and fit it over the plug and twist it, most of that dirt should come out to where you can get the socket on the plug. Use canned or compressed air and blow out the chamber before removing the plug.
I don't believe that it's dirt, I've ran a small flathead screwdriver down the side and wasn't able break anything loose. I will attempt your suggestion though .
